Also. Why is there a character minimum?
Probably rhetorical, but a response nonetheless 
It’s meant to guide users to “more thoughtful” comments, and hearkens back to the days of forums/Reddit posts/code repo/Stack Overflow comment sections that the community felt were “low value”; e.g. a wall of people typing “+1” when they agree on something, or short phrases that don’t fundamentally add much to the conversation for a wide set of readers, like a commenter simply typing “lol”.
Going even further back to the days of BBS’, some communities despised short responses because the effort required to retrieve the post felt like empty calories if the response wasn’t worth the wait.
On the converse, with the rise in popularity of always-on internet (circa ~2002-2010), the short/kurt types of comments made sense and were more prevalent when forums and chat clients didn’t have less “noisy” response indicators like Discourse’s 
function, or other emoji responses in spaces like Matrix and Github.

ooh, Bandcamp support you say? gonna make working on my backlog so much easier, lol
are you considering adding SoundCloud support too? I don’t think it’s supported by either a-tisket or Harmony yet, so it’s understandable if not

Im definitely going to look into adding it, especially considering they have an api, unlike bandcamp… though getting a key might prove difficult…

https://lioncat6.github.io/SAMBL/links now fully redirect tohttps://sambl.lioncat6.com/while preserving path and parameters- Working on obtaining a SoundCloud API key

I’m playing with this, one thing I would like (even if its a preference option under Configure) is that when the Harmony link is clicked, it asks Harmony to do X-platform lookups (so to Apple Music, Deezer) - so that when I import with Harmony it brings all of that stuff across (assuming there is a match).
I think this is just as simple as adding “&deezer=&itunes=” to the URL 
So to go from this:

The intention of the category=preferred parameter is that you can configure your preferred platforms on the Harmony settings page rather than having to append all the provider names to the lookup URL every time:

Hmm ok odd - now that I’ve visited that Settings page on Harmony it is now working

This actually used to be the case with the older version of SAMBL, but I’ve been debating re-adding it. Here’s the other parameters if you’re curious: Harmony Parameters · Lioncat6/SAMBL-React Wiki · GitHub
